Huellas y vestigios, Liliana Porter: An Exhibition Exploring Traces and Time in Art

This exhibition showcases the work of acclaimed Argentine artist Liliana Porter, focusing on her exploration of 'traces and vestiges.' Across five thematic chapters, the display covers her extensive international career, highlighting how she uses everyday objects and recurring characters to question notions of time, fragility, and social collapse.

The exhibition 'Huellas y vestigios' at the Museo Casa de la Moneda celebrates the extensive international career of Argentine artist Liliana Porter, a prominent figure in Latin American art and a recipient of the XXX Tomás Francisco Prieto Prize in 2023. The exhibition, curated by Agustín Pérez Rubio, delves into Porter's engagement with the concepts of traces and vestiges, examining how the passage of time transforms objects into remnants and how actions leave marks that represent the events themselves. Porter's work masterfully blends gesturality, geometry, literature, and humor to create intimate scenes that question mundane aspects of life. Through her characteristic use of her own hands, everyday objects, and recurring characters acting as performers, she reconstructs scenarios that explore themes of instability, the non-linear nature of time, fragility, and societal collapse. The exhibition is structured into five thematic chapters, moving away from a strictly chronological approach, to better immerse visitors in a continuum of conceptual and poetic materialities that span her artistic practice from the 1960s to the present day.

Exhibition access is included with general museum admission. Opening hours are Tuesdays to Fridays from 10:00 to 20:00, and Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 10:00 to 14:00.
